The aerial plant parts of the cranberry (<i>Vaccinium macrocarpon</i>) present a potential new source of antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Volatile essential oils were extracted from Stevens, Early Black, and Mullica Queen variety plants by steam distillation (SD) and the Clevenger method (CM), and their profiles were characterized by GC-MS. The extracts and two identified constituents, cinnamaldehyde and terpineol, were screened by the disc diffusion assay against Gram-positive <i>B. cereus</i> ATCC 11778 and <i>S. aureus</i> ATCC 25923 and Gram-negative bacteria <i>E. coli</i> ATCC 25922, <i>P. aeruginosa</i> ATCC 27853, and <i>C. albicans</i> ATCC 14053. Radical scavenging antioxidant activity was also determined using the DPPH assay. The CM extracts were rich in fatty acids, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes, whereas the SD extracts contained more aldehydes, monoterpenes, and phenylpropanoids. All volatile extracts showed promising antioxidant activity; leaf extract activity was significantly higher than the vine (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The CM leaf and vine extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against <i>B. cereus</i>, <i>S. aureus</i>, <i>E. coli</i>, and <i>C. albicans</i> compared to the SD, and the leaf extracts were more effective than the vine extracts. Individual constituents of leaf and vine extracts, cinnamaldehyde and α-terpineol, also showed antimicrobial activity against these organisms.
